Summary: Loved it till the end
Review: I loved reading Omar Tyree's Flyy Girl. The book was so exciting and full of realism. I think all the characters people could relate too or know someone who was or had similar ways to them. The book was funny and serious at the same time. Even though the book was off the hook. I gave it only four stars because the last chapter or so of the book wasn't all that. You read all the way to the end and realize the ending could of been better. But I give it a thumbs up. I also recommend it to the younger readers because it can show them that being fast butts don't have no good to it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK
Review: THIS BOOK SHOULD BE READ BY ALL PEOPLE VARING FROM DIFFERENT AGES AND REACE. I FEEL THAT THIS BOOK WAS DONE VERY WELL. OMAR TYREE DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB OF DESCRIBING HOW THE 80'S WERE. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THERE WERE TIMES WHERE U FELT THAT TRACY WOULD ACTUALLY WAKE UP AND SEE THAT BEING MATERIALISTIC ONLY GETS U SO FAR. I FEEL THAT A LOT TEENAGE BOYS AND GIRLS WOULD GET A LOT OUT OF THIS BOOK. IT REALLY RELATES TO THE YOUNGER GENRATION MAKING THEM SEE THAT EVERYONE GOES THROUGHT THOSE TIMES OF INSECURITY AND THAT THEY MIGHT DEAL WITH THINGS LIKE THIS IN THERE LIFE AND THERE ARE WAYS TO LIVE IN THE "GHETTO" AND STILL MAKE SOMETHING OF URSELF OR NOT TO FALL INTO PEER PRESSURE. I FELL THIS STORY IS A COMING OF AGE STORY AND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO RELATE TO IT IN SOMEWAY.

Summary: The Reality of Being A "Flyy Girl"
Review: The novel "Flyy Girl," by Omar Tyree proved to be quite pleasing and very fulfilling in an entertaining way. Tyree effectively enhances the readership by being able to cause them to reminisce about their earlier years provided that they are familiar with the character of a flyy girl. This book clearly displays a fictional view of perhaps the goings on in the life of a young girl growing and developing into adult womanhood. The author presents the issues of a husband and a wife who decides to live their lives apart, a single mother who practically raised her children in a single parent home, and the assumption that people can derive from the same household and environment, and yet be so categorically different as in Tracey, Mercedes, and Raheema. Tyree did not fail to identify with the issues of spousal, child, and verbal abuse. Beth was sometimes beaten by her husband, Keith. And Keith was verbally abusive towards his daughter Mercedes. It was also noted that Keith was only a real person whenever he was around his friends and under the influence of alcohol. Through "Flyy Girl," Tyree also offered readers the opportunity to question themselves as to what their children are doing when they are not around. The author further reveals the aspects of peer pressure that a teenager has to undergo in a modern society. What makes this particular novel so exceptional is that the issues that are addressed can be readily related to real life situations. And, Tyree did it realistically.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 80's in the Fast Lane
Review: Reading this novel made me envision the days when M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice were both popular and the icon of nearly every teenager in America. The objectiveness and popularity of drugs in the hood life was just beginning as innocent "stereotyping" of the black community. This stereotype was one created by black rap groups such as EPMD and Run DMC and then popularized by society as a whole. The hood became socially accepted and idealized by society. This popularity was immediately met with protest by parents and adults.
The novel focuses on Tracy ascending from her childhood into adulthood in the fast lane of society. She was a "flyy girl" and popular with boys and friends. Her character symbolizes innocence of teen popularity and girlhood of a 15 year old. The problems faced in this novel are not fictionalized events, but events that really do happen to children and events that any reader of any age could relate to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Back in High School
Review: Tracy made me feel 15 again. Omar Tyree brings back the 80's in a major way with the big earring and just the term "flyy." This is a must read for all teenage girls. Tracy goes through the ins and outs of high school life and just being a girl in the 80's.

Rating: 4 stars
